Ignore this guy. He thinks the word “Freedom” means license to do drugs. “Liberty” to use drugs is about the only freedom these libertarian types seem to think worthy of discussing.

If you believe that drugs are a threat to society, then he puts you into the “Jackbooted thug fascist Dictator opposed to freedom” camp.

Libertarians cannot refrain from being childish about their pet drug issue.


Yep, and as long police don't kick down the wrong door at 0200 and open fire on you with less restrictive rules of engagement than the Marines in Afghanistan, life is good.

After all why would anyone be concerned, as long as the law is enforced and the police get to go home and the end of the day? Everything else is just the price of freedom. /sarc

The usage of unsupportable tactics is not limited to the war on drugs. They do the same thing in all sorts of situations having nothing to do with drugs. (Such as suspicion of terrorism.)

The problem is not specific to the efforts to interdict drugs, it is a systemic problem occurring from having an activist government. We need to reduce the whole thing, and not waste our time pointing out specific abuses involving drug enforcement. They are abusing us for all sorts of other reasons too. The IRS and the Agriculture Department are also now carrying guns.

This is what is so irritating about Libertarians, they only want to focus on federal abuses regarding drug enforcement, and they never devote the same degree of attention to abuses in any other area.
